I-4 traffic to be briefly slowed in Seminole, Volusia counties
Traffic along eastbound Interstate 4 will be slowed down along portions of Seminole and Volusia counties on Thursday morning so law enforcement can conduct an investigation related to a deadly hit-and-run crash a few weeks ago. Traffic will be slowed near Lake Mary Blvd., south of Dirksen Drive, and on the ramp to I-95.
